According to Frippe, who points to this (Swedish) news article, the Zappa Plays Zappa tour is going to have Flo & Eddie in the band from start to finish. “According to Sundsvalls Tidning it will be a ten man band with ‘young musicians'”.
Updäte: This article confirms the presence of Flo & Eddie during the tour (thanks again Frippe).
Update 2: George Duke will be attending as well (thanks Balint).
Well, I’mm not at all perfect in swedish ;-), but I didn’t find the names of Volman or Kaylan in that article…
Nor did I, which is why I’m solely attributing this bit of news to Frippe! :D
anyway: guys on zappa.com (the forums) also talking about Flo & Eddie… Anyone going to London to make an interview? Or Barry: did Dweezil call you up already to give an interview? :-))
Your Swedish is not that bad after all ;-)
I posted info from two different sources and forgot to link to the first one:
Link #1.
EMA is the official concert promoter for Scandinavian leg of the tour.
Same info can be found in the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten:
Link #2.
Dang, gotta love the Scandinavian press! I hadn’t seen this info anywhere else yet…
(btw: hope you don’t mind my “linkifying” your url’s Frippe. :) )
i will be in London when the zappas are in town. can anyone think of a way i could blag an interview on behalf of KUR?! :)
the zappa forums feature a guy who spoke to Dweezil re the tour, 10 piece band etc etc

bhuana: you could record it; I could put it online.
re zappa forums: only new “rumour” I saw there is the alledged presence of Steve Vai during the tour.
